Martian Manhunter #6

Tom Mandrake's cover for this May 1999 issue makes a bold statement: J'onn J'onzz stands tall and commanding at center, his cape sweeping behind him, while a defeated armored figure lies crumpled at his feet and both Aquaman and Wonder Woman flank him in apparent submission — all beneath the provocative question "J'ONN TRIUMPHANT?!?" Spinning out of the pages of JLA, John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake's Martian Manhunter series gives DC's most quietly formidable hero his own spotlight, and this issue promises some serious power dynamics among the League's heaviest hitters. If you've ever wanted to see J'onn take center stage over his more celebrated teammates, this cover alone makes a compelling case.
